The Royal Governor.....and The Duchess: The Duke and Duchess of Windsor in The Bahamas 1940-1945At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the British government, alarmed at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's association with the Nazis and the possibility that they would remove themselves to the United States to preach their pacifist (and slightly pro German) credo, decided that a job had to be found for the ex King Edward VIII. and his wife, the American, Wallis Simpson.

At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the British government, alarmed at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's association with the Nazis and the possibility that they would remove themselves to the United States to preach their pacifist (and slightly pro-German) credo, decided that a job had to be found for the ex-King Edward VIII. and his wife, the American, Wallis Simpson. He was appointed Governor of The Bahamas, one of the smallest and least important possessions of the British Empire, far away from the scene of battle.

Away from their sybaritic living in the south of France, the couple struggled unhappily with the very different lifestyle of minor colonial life. This story is of their successes and their failures during their last official service to The British--and of the only Royal Governor to have served in British colonial history.

Soft!
Color: Peach Fuzz
These socks for dry heels are wonderful. I purchased a balm for my feet and these help it soak in over night. They have a gel liner in the heel which is soft. The first few nights I could. Feel the socks just because I wasn't used to it but after a few wears I can't tell I have them on. Love them and seem to be helping my heels.

Soft heels, here I come!
Color: Blue Haven
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I bought these for my 16-year-old daughter, and she loves them. They’re super soft and cozy, and they’ve really helped with dry heels. The moisturizing lining works great, and her feet feel noticeably smoother after wearing them. She even wears them around the house because they’re comfortable, not bulky or slippery. Great quality and a fun little self-care item — definitely a win! I even bought myself and my mom a pair!

Works well if you wear them every day
Color: Lavender Luxury, Color: Lavender Luxury
These heel socks do work, but you need to be consistent and patient. The socks are soft with a gel lining on the inside that basically traps your body heat and moisture—kind of like a mini spa for your feet. My heels felt noticeably softer after just one hour of wearing them. That said, I don’t love sleeping with socks on, so it took me two nights to get used to them. I even took them off the first night because I couldn’t stand the feeling. After five nights of use with nightly exfoliating, my heels are definitely softer, but still cracked in some areas. I’m hoping they keep improving with continued use. If you stick with it and exfoliate regularly, these socks definitely help soften rough skin. Not a miracle fix overnight, but a helpful tool for healing cracked heels.
